Claude advanced 1 – projects 🆕

Projects are Claude’s most powerful way to organize long-term work and information. Skills enable Claude to use specific instructions and background information. These are among the most important features for using AI effectively. When you add background information, instructions, and documents to a Project, Claude remembers them in every conversation, without the need to explain them repeatedly.

Goal

Learn to create and manage Claude Skills and Projects effectively. Understand how to use a Knowledge Base, custom instructions, and files to customize Claude for your own work and your team’s use.

Target audience

For professionals, project managers, and team leaders who work with recurring tasks or topic-specific work. We recommend completing the Claude Basics 1 and Claude Basics 2 courses first.

Software version

Anthropic Claude (web version). Full use of the Projects feature, such as sharing Projects with a team, requires a Claude Pro or Team/Enterprise subscription.
